Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Sunshine Mills, Inc. has voluntarily recalled 2,150 bags of various dog food brands including FRM Gold Select, Sportman's Pride, Sprout, and Intimidator due to potential Salmonella contamination. The recall was initiated after a sampling program yielded positive results for the bacteria. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date in connection with these products, which were distributed across 14 states. Consumers should immediately stop using the affected food and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Salmonella can cause serious illness in both the pets consuming the food and the humans handling it, especially if they do not thoroughly wash their hands. Infected pets may experience lethargy, diarrhea, fever, and vomiting, while humans may suffer from nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever.
